Re: Customer Wants Receipt


Office Depot/Max or Staples will have forms. Duplicate...triplicate...carbon or carbonless. If they want a receipt that bad, they won't mind if it's handwritten.

Re: Customer Wants Receipt

I just write on the INVOICE "Paid in full" the check number and the date and I sign it. If that's not good enough, then all he's trying to do is get out of paying you.

There is no such thing as a receipt for a cash payment. That goes against everything that is holy in the world of contracting.

But if she insists, pull out a napkin and right her one.

Re: Customer Wants Receipt


If someone is on a payment schedule for incremental milestones or tasks, they have every right to ask for a "Statement of Accounts" or a "Balance Statement", regardless of their method of payment. If you're using progress-based invoicing, you ought to be able to print out this kind of statement from any regular accounting software.

For cash statements, I've taken to adding a "tear-off" section at the bottom of my invoices for the infrequent occasions I get payments in cash. That way I have something to sign on the spot, and I just tear it off the bottom of the contract/invoice.
